Haunts of the Ice Cavern | New 1st and 3rd Level Adventure for Fifth Edition by DMDave (Patreon)

DOWNLOAD ZIP ATTACHED TO POST

Haunts of the Ice Cavern is a Fifth Edition adventure optimized for four to five characters with an average party level of 1 or 3. Characters who successfully clear the cavern should earn enough experience to reach the 2nd level, or enough experience to make it halfway to the 4th level. The adventure is set in an icy part of any campaign world of your choice, especially those that suffer from endless nights. In the Legends of Omeria campaign setting, this cavern could be placed in the Syhros Peninsula near the town of Borgstrand.

Background and Hook

The citizens of a small, snow-blanketed hamlet have a problem. While the characters are staying in a small, icy hamlet, the town’s representative approaches them requesting help with the problem:

1st-Level Version: Grusa, the White Dragon Wyrmling. Grusa, an orphaned white dragon wyrmling has bullied a group of goblins into doing her dirty work for her. Although Grusa is small, she recognizes that the humanoids of the ice realms rarely have the strength to combat threats such as she. Thus, she employs the goblins to raid and rob the local settlements so she can amass her burgeoning dragon’s hoard.

3rd-Level Version: Makwa, the Were-Polar-Bear. Makwa, a rather ornery were-polar-bear, has bullied a group of orcs into doing his dirty work for him. Makwa once lived among the humans. As such, the lycanthrope knows that the humanoids of the ice realms rarely have the strength to combat threats such as he. Thus, he employs the orc to raid and rob the local settlements so he can amass a small fortune of ill-gotten gains. The townsfolk are not aware that Makwa is actually a humanoid that can change into a polar bear.

Brazen, the raiders have done little to cover their tracks. As such, the hamlet’s residents know that they are hiding in a cavern tucked behind a frozen waterfall a few miles along the lakeshore.

If the characters can clear out the dragon and return with what she stole from the hamlet, the citizens are willing to split the ill-gotten gains with the characters.
